Probably The Second Most Disgusting Photo I Own
Two Sundays ago, when I got home from my long run ((16 km long, in fact)), I discovered that I had a blister on my big toe. This blister, in fact:
Believe it or not, I don’t think I’ve ever had a blister on my foot from all the running I’ve done. Blisters from wearing entirely impractical shoes – yes. But from running – no.
I wasn’t sure what the best thing to do with said blister was. I mean, to pop or not to pop, right? I consulted with Dr. Google and found that the general consensus was not to pop a blister unless it gets uncomfortable or painful, in which case you should pop it with a sterilized blade. Well, when the blister was that size, I didn’t really feel it, so I stuck a band-aid with some polysporin on it. And even after my hill run on Tuesday, it was still OK. And then I went for my short run today. And somehow this happened:
Disgusting, right? I started to feel the blister in the last ~1/2 km of the run and so I knew it wasn’t going to be good. But I didn’t really expect when I took my shoe and sock off that it would be quite so round! I’m actually amazed that my skin could stretch that much in such a short period of time without bursting! The blister wasn’t painful, exactly, but it definitely felt uncomfortable, as I could feel the neighbouring toe pushing on it (though I guess it really is the blister pushing on the neighbouring toe!). Anyway, I decided that this uncomfortableness was sufficient to follow Dr. Google’s advice to pop it open! I didn’t have a razor blade, so I decided to sterilize a safety pin and use that. But, of course, I had to take the above photo first because who doesn’t want to see my disgusting blister, right?

skin can stretch quite a bit… in the bible Jesus tied his ass to a tree and walked 40 miles
This begs the question, what’s the most disgusting photo you own?
FINALLY! I was waiting for someone to ask that. 10 points for you, extragoode!
The most disgusting photo I own isn’t actually disgusting if you look at it without knowing what it is. But it’s from my days in the lab at U of Guelph and involves rats in a blender. True story.
